Project description:Background: We here show that inhibitors of mitochondrial complex I promote physical activity, stress resistance as well as lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans despite normal food uptake, i.e. in the absence of DR. Dietary restriction (DR) extends lifespan and promotes metabolic health in evolutionary distinct species. The RNA-seq data comprises 4 age groups (1, 5, 10 and 20 days after L4) and 2 different conditions (rotenone and normal feeding (DMSO)) Jena Centre for Systems Biology of Ageing - JenAge (www.jenage.de)
